EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint English village of Hagbourne, Berkshire in 1898, offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts the village's historic market cross. The market cross, a traditional English landmark, stands proudly in the center of the village, surrounded by lush greenery and quaint houses that speak to the village's rich history. The market cross, believed to date back to the 16th or 17th century, was a vital part of Hagbourne's community. It served as a gathering place for villagers to buy and sell goods, as well as a meeting point for important announcements and social events. The cross itself is adorned with intricate carvings and a weathered, yet elegant, appearance, which adds to its charm and historical significance. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the villagers during that era. People can be seen going about their day, some walking along the cobblestone streets, while others are tending to their gardens or working in their shops. The horses and carts add to the rustic atmosphere, and the clear blue sky and bright sunlight add a sense of peacefulness to the scene. Hagbourne, located in the English county of Berkshire, is a picturesque village that has managed to preserve its historic character despite the passage of time. The market cross remains a beloved symbol of the village's history and community spirit, and continues to be a popular attraction for visitors from near and far. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past and the simple pleasures of rural life in England during the late 19th century.
